i agree
she can do a Pepsi ad at the superbowl and people will recognize her, she can show up at the MTV awards and everyone will want to know who she is, she can pose on SI/GQ and men wont complain...and she is on Vogue Italia and in US vogue

Exactly. The average Vogue US reader also won't complain. The average woman in general won't complain.

I can't stand her (idk why) but I think the cover is fine. It's obviously yet another take on the whole Marilyn Monroe/Anna Nicole Smith character, but there is something here that makes it relevant to high fashion. Plus, when you consider the awful AWFUL covers VI has been putting out this year, I'll take this.

I'm not the biggest Kate fan, in fact I'm not a fan at all, but I do really like this cover. She looks like a barbie here, so glam it's rather refreshing. Might I add, that I like this cover much better than Candice Swanepoel's one and she's also a commercial model. And well, I feel like Kate is not going anywhere, we might aswell learn to bear with her

I find it pornographic BUT I know that it's wrong of me to.
Because of the huge double standard. Kate gets her boobs out, it's pornographic.
When Jac, Toni, Frida and Sigrid got their boobs out a few weeks ago in 'What's Contemporary' and were actually naked no one called it pornographic.

For the same reason models can wear revealing runway looks and still look classy, but the moment Kim Kardashian wears it people think it's super slutty.

seriously guys, the porn card?
It won't be porn, even if Kardashian would be on the cover like this.
the whole concept is a little in your face but still sexy and very classy in a retro 90's way
i love how she looks straight at you

It was just my opinion, okay? It wasn't joke. I really scared about that all!

I hate how Kate try to be supermodel, I don't understand how you can to compare great models of 90s with ordinary swimwear model. I don't want to see porn, when I see VI cover.

It's not as if shes turning up at doors asking to be on the cover, Meisel and Franca obviously contacted her to be on the cover meaning shes wanted to be there and not just trying to score any job she can.

True, but we'll see how long she will be in demand with the influential people. People are already tagging her as a new super model when she's clearly not.
